I went to the library today to get a little more info on the hanging in
Aug 1862 of Capt Ramey Dye and many others. I believe this Ramey Dye to
be the brother to my Avery Dye B-1825 MO, the sons of Ramey Dye B-abt
1802 KY. Avery was the father of my Gr-Grandmother Ava Rilla Dye.
First of all Ramey moves to Cooke Co TX and first pays taxes in 1849. In
the 1850 census he says that he was B-1821 Mo. He was censused with wife
Jane B- 1824 , James B-1842, Margaret B- 1844, and Rachel B-1850. In
the 1860 census, he says Rama ( Ramey) Dye B-1819 KY , Jane is no
longer with him, Margaret E. B-1845, Rachel B- 1850, Thomas B-1855,
With them is Robert Coy age 34 B-KY. Any way, below is a brief over
view of the trial. Enjoy.
